Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

They are rapidly improving, at work over the last year they have gone from a huge burden to producing better results faster than most devs. The bottleneck for development is rapidly becoming human review and not human development. The next few years will be scary if the funding does not disappear
They're not actually improving. Following predictions made by OpenAI and Deepmind in 2020 and 2022 research papers on AI Scaling Laws, they hit a ceiling for accuracy as training data and power consumption approach infinity. The papers correctly predicted accuracy and costs of current models.
Now that they've run out of most sources of training data, it gets more and more difficult to filter out AI generated data which will pollute the models and lead to worse accuracy.
The models are actually getting worse.
OpenAI announced recently that it's about to go bankrupt. Microsoft publicly stated it has to do something useful with AI or they will lose trust from both people and government agencies.
A lot of companies are reporting that adoption of AI has either brought no returns or actually cost them more.
